A little history on these. The late Paul Melmeth owed 3 of the 6 known examples while operating his coin store in Newcastle. These were all sold to a local buyer. To the best of my knowledge these coins still reside in the hunter valley.

A former member of one of these forums has one.

It really does look good in the hand.

Now If I can get some money together I just might have a go at it.

Donations to the following bank account please.............dah!

I saw that scalloped 20c today. It is a sensational choice uncirculated coin.

Sounds like it needs to be on my wantlist but my birthday isn't until September.

It's going to take a bit of saving up to pay for such a beauty. It could go for a LOT of money. I would be in debt for the next decade of birthdays!

If that's the case, make your partner work harder for more money.   Problem solved!
